Naruto, aspiring to become a well-known figure in the ninja world

"Fourth Hokage, Gojo Kegetsu is reporting in compliance with your orders."

"……Enter."

When Gojo Jieyue opened the door, a pungent and unpleasant smell of smoke rushed out of the room.

Wait until the smoke dissipates to reveal the true appearance of the room.

Minato Namikaze was standing by the window wearing a divine robe, and a rare look of displeasure appeared on his usually gentle face.

And on the chairs in front of the Hokage's workstation, ignoring the special commissioner Xiaoshan...

'Shimura Danzo, Mito Monohan...'

'This old Bidden.'

Gojo Jieyue frowned slightly.

If there is anyone in Naruto whose level of dislike is even higher than Shimura Danzo...

That must be Mitomon En.

It is recorded in "The Book of Rin" that Mito Kado En and Utane Koharu have the "same" strength and wisdom as Sarutobi Hiruzen.

However, under the six eyes, the quality of chakra is revealed. Mitomon En? Just an old cow and horse who does nothing but eat and eat!

Although Danzo is disgusting, he is still a powerful ninja. Who are you?

Apart from the frequent introduction of policies that reduce prosperity, there are signs that he has been secretly involved in planning policies related to Uchiha.

Seeing Gojo Jieyue coming.

Ichiro Koyama, who had just accused his misdeeds in this room, shrank his neck.

When the anger subsides, his cowardly inner nature is revealed.

"Well... since everyone is here, Elder Danzo, I will take my leave first."

dong dong dong-

The contest between the old and new powers of Konoha Village once again begins in the Hokage Building.

Mitomon En took the lead in attacking Gojo Jieyue: "Counselor Gojo! Do you know what you are doing?"

"Huh? What did I do?"

Gojo Kegetsu felt as comfortable as if he were back home. He pulled over a chair and sat down at the Hokage's table.

Seeing his attitude, Mizuto Menyan felt more and more unhappy.

He was opposed to Gojo Kegetsu's appointment as the Hokage's advisor.

This guy... has no sense of propriety and is too radical.

Every proposal was like a stab at the heart of the conservative Konoha F4.

Mitomon Yan sneered and said, "Do you know that there is one country and one village, and Konoha Village is a military department of the Land of Fire. This system was set by the first generation and the daimyo?"

"Of course, the first generation is wise."

Gojo Jieyue solemnly bowed in the direction of the Hokage Rock.

Bullshit wise!

Gojo Kegetsu has always believed that Hashirama Senju's combat power points were earned through his political intelligence.

If it was Gojo Jieyue who did it, he would let the daimyo know... what is called the damn imperial power!

Of course, such a rebellious idea can only be spoken and done when the time comes at least when they can still be invincible in the world even with Konoha on their backs.

"Then you know that Commissioner Oyama represents the interests of the Daimyo and the interests of the Land of Fire."

"You dare to threaten such a distinguished person with his life and secretly withhold the benefits that belong to the daimyo?!"

Mitomon En's voice became louder and louder. He dared to smoke indoors in front of his direct superior, the powerful Hokage Minato Namikaze. He was like a loyal dog guarding his master to the secular king...

Gojo Jieyue looked at his old face with glasses and wanted to kill him more and more.

"Oh? Is that so? So what? What happened next?"

"later?"

"Immediately return the money you swallowed to Commissioner Xiaoshan and apologize, and this matter will be over."

"I want to apologize for this matter. As a genin, I am afraid of being poor, so I intercepted a large amount of money, but I have not spent a penny of it so far."

Gojo Jieyue sat up straight and seemed to begin to express his regret.

"Elder Mito, you know me. I am an immigrant from the small country of Flower Country."

“My hometown doesn’t have much to offer, but there is one proverb that I always keep in mind.”

"what?"

The attention of the three people in the room was all attracted by Gojo Jieyue.

"People have joys and sorrows, and Genin embellishes life. When life is dull, corpses play the role of humans."

Gojo Jieyue said seriously: "I suspect... that Xiaoshan-kun is a corpse."

Shimura Danzo raised his eyes, and Mito Kado En's face was filled with shock: "Gojo Kegetsu! What do you want to do!"

"It takes about three days to travel from Konoha Village to the capital of the Land of Fire. During this process, perhaps Mr. Koyama will reveal his true identity."

"Also, let me say one more thing."

Gojo Jieyue supported the Hokage table with both hands:

"I will definitely return the money as ordered, but...even if the daimyo comes, he can't take the money with him. I said that!"

The dangerous words filled with threats echoed in the Hokage's office and could not be calmed down for a long time.

It seemed like a useless remark, but the three people present already understood its deep meaning.

"Are you crazy? Gojo Jieyue!"

Mitomon Yan looked at the tall Gojo Jieyue and felt an inexplicable fear in his heart. He no longer dared to confront him and turned his spearhead to the good guy Namikaze Minato.

"Yondaime, this is the advisor you nominated!"

"He has become so rampant that he wants to kill the Fire Nation's envoy on his way home!"

"Impeachment! I want to impeach Gojo Jieyue!"

"Danzo, say something, Danzo!"

Mizuto Menen yelled for a long time but got no response from his old friend, and suddenly became a little anxious.

"Hey, Elder Mito, you can't frame innocent people! Did I ever say I was going to kill Koyama-kun?"

"He and I are close friends and brothers!"

Gojo Jieyue spread his hands, looking innocent.

Minato Namikaze held his forehead helplessly, finally unable to bear it anymore.

He was dissatisfied with the politics of the old men and was also indignant at the dirty deeds done secretly by Ichiro Koyama, but the special envoy represented the face of the daimyo after all. If he died in the Land of Fire, it might affect the support funding for Konoha in the next quarter.

"Alright, alright. I believe in Advisor Gojo. After all, the embezzlement of money is only one-sided from Commissioner Koyama. Let the Anbu ninja investigate further before making a final conclusion."

"I think... Kakashi is suitable for the investigation mission."

With just one sentence, Minato skipped over Gojo Kegetsu's offense against the daimyo's authority:

"As for the impeachment mentioned by Elder Mito..." Namikaze Minato paused: "According to the Konoha system, real evidence is also required."

"Evidence? Of course I have it."

Mitomon Yan sneered, formed seals with both hands and used the time-space ninjutsu to summon a scroll. He then took out a thick stack of information from the scroll.

"This is the investigation I ordered the Nemoto ninja to conduct on Gojo Kegetsu."

"It contains detailed evidence of Gojo Jieyue's bribery of high-ranking officials and nobles from the four major nations."

"The amount involved is as high as hundreds of millions of taels."

"Without a doubt, this is irrefutable evidence that Gojo Jieyue is an enemy!"

Volume 26: The Laws of Our Ancestors Cannot Be Changed

"The village is in financial difficulty right now."

"Even the food allowance for me as the Hokage's advisor is only enough for a bowl of noodles with soybean paste and garlic."

"And you, Gojo Kegetsu, actually dared to use the money for the critical period of post-war reconstruction to support the enemy... Are you sucking the blood of Konoha to choose a comfortable place for yourself to serve as a traitor next time?"

Rebel ninja——!

Such dangerous and heavy words came out of Mitomon Yan's mouth.

Indeed, if this matter is taken seriously, it can indeed be labeled as a traitor in the eyes of those who are not aware of the situation.

If this really happened, it would undoubtedly be a major blow to Konoha's prestige. The Hokage's advisor has become a traitor... It's equivalent to Uchiha Madara's defection during the first generation.

The atmosphere in the Hokage's office suddenly dropped to freezing point.

"Also, the [Konoha Village Forehead Protection Improvement Plan] that the Fourth Hokage submitted a few days ago was also your idea, right?"

"Gojo Kegetsu, did you know that the forehead protector was confirmed by the Shodaime himself?!"

"Do you know that the laws of our ancestors cannot be changed?!"

Danzo Shimura, who had remained silent as if he had not woken up, finally opened his eyes. With a cold and dangerous light flashing in his eyes, he began to launch a second round of political attack against Gojo Kegetsu.

"Three hundred and fifty million taels..."

"I know about this matter, but I didn't expect that you, Gojo Jieyue, would bribe the nobles of the four countries with this money."

"Just for... this random magazine."

"Gojo Jieyue, give me an explanation."

Snapped--

A half-new book was thrown on the table by Danzo Shimura.

The fact that Gojo Jieyue secretly bribed the nobles of the four major countries was exposed.

With Danzo Shimura intending to arrange for the Root ninjas to follow up, all the links were presented to Danzo.

But even though it was equivalent to an open-book exam, Danzo Shimura still couldn't understand the mystery.

Giving a "generous" bribe of 350 million taels to the nobles of all countries, big and small, just to get them to carry this magazine in public?

it is good!

Even so, Danzo Shimura endured it.

If the content is to promote the strength of Konoha Village and Konoha ninjas, then it can be considered as doing something.

But what is written in it? !

What shop? What villager paid? Anonymous minister?

What is all this?

Danzo Shimura, who had lived in conspiracy and calculation for most of his life, was extremely angry. He felt that he had been plotted against and his sincerity had been thrown away.

If Gojo Kegetsu doesn't give a reasonable explanation today, he will let him know what the darkness in the ninja world is.

Even the Yondaime couldn't save him, Danzo Shimura said!

"Hmm... there are a lot of questions, so I won't answer them for now. Let's put aside the forehead protection plan that Elder Mito questioned."

"As for the whereabouts of the funds that Elder Danzo mentioned... this matter is complicated, so I will keep it short."

"Gentlemen, do you know what advertising is?"

As expected, the atmosphere was silent, and even Minato Namikaze looked at him with a confused look.

"Alas, starting from this generation, the Ninja School should add some new subjects."
